That would be great! You can send it to me here: http://custombodyfuel.com/contact/ :)

Agree with @LauraT -- this discussion is getting pretty far away from this community's core topics, and if it fails to remain civil it will be closed.

Really good. I decided to grind down my oats anyways, threw in some blueberries and 1-2 strawberries, a small handful of spinach. tasty

Let's keep things civil, folks. This thread seems very close to coming off the rails. Thanks everyone!

So I just got married, and all that chaos is mostly past. I should be able to stick to a schedule now and exercise regularly. I'm planning on drinking Soylent at work and for meals not prepared with my wife, roughly 33% of calories. I don't know how regularly…

Thanks a lot .Finily I could place my fiirst order shipped to the NetherlandsNow I just have to wait

Good chance its the salt. I work out in the heat all day, drinking around 2 gallons of water a day, My eating habits were pretty high in sodium as well.

You should be golden. If it gets to 10 days and still have not heard email info@soylent.me

You haven't understood anything discussed here. Your mind is completely muddled, no intellectual framing to anything, no cause and effect, no inclination of understanding social structure and economic policies. Merely irrelevant anecdotes. Just horrible,…

Thanks. I liked the old one enough to reorder, hope I get the new one this time.

If you want, I have the email and phone for the company. I can pass that along

I like this idea--I may go buy some Doritos! I have also been eyeing the jar of pepperoncinis in my fridge. Munching on a whole pepper along with a bit of the vinegar they soak in satisfies several of those needs too. I have noticed in the past (before…

Good point. I actually found that a few spicy crunchy corn chips (Doritos Dynamitas, just because I happened to have them around, not because I'm a huge fan of them in particular) were a big help after a full glass of Schmoylent. Even just 2 or 3 were…

Back a couple few months ago, when @spaceman was in the early days of selling, I bought some samples and asked for them to be shipped in baggies, to save on the plastic and since I have shaker bottles anyway. At the time, he was happy to do it; if…

Hey @rambleman, your order is scheduled to ship out tomorrow. The 1-2 week lead time on re-orders applies for subscriptions as well. I'm sorry about the confusion with this. As for the billing, we update the billing to be 28 days after the order has shipped.…

I found that when I was on Justin Fuel I had strong cavings similar to that. CHEESE! Since then I've realized that there are two other factors in play. I was missing: Something warm in my stomach The feeling of fullness Just recognizing these two…

OK, thats just silly good. I tried it (used Coke Zero instead)........this is officially my new favorite way to enjoy Soylent

Quite a lot of folks in the UK seem to be trying this. Just so you know, UK RDA of protein is 55g for an adult male (http://www.npt.gov.uk/default.aspx?page=3360). This recipe has 205g - almost 4x the UK RDA. This might explain why some folks have felt…

That's interesting, because my diet tends to be a lot of fast/processed/pre-prepared food and I still found Schmoylent very sweet (still haven't had the opportunity to try Soylent yet, c'mon 2 week order!). Like LauraT said, you do get used to it, and…

@OmegaJeff, have you measured these amounts in mg? And are you adding anything else, or considered anything else?

Isn't it amazing how quickly our palette adapts to things? Someone coming from every day processed food would probably never think Schmoylent was sweet. After several weeks on Justin Fuel though your palette is completely reset. I went to a Ketogenic…

I'm sure plenty of people enjoy the bottle per serving setup you have going but have you considered simply bagging your ingredients for folks that would rather reuse sturdier bottles anyways? I mention simply because I have to imagine you would-Save…

I actually just grabbed it because it was there and I wanted it... No real reasoning behind it. The jerky is actually expensive (because my lazy butt bought it a convenience store), but I was hoping I could stretch it out. I'm still not sure what I'm…

Ja tam bym nie porzucał gryzienia. Jem normalnie przynajmniej jeden dzień w tygodniu, a kiedy w pozostałe dni brakuje mi kalorii też czymś przegryzam. Nie było tak, żebym więcej niż 6 dni pił tylko POylent, choć myślę że można by, jak ktoś bardzo nie…

Hey guys, I've been on People Chow for the last two-ish months and have really enjoyed the practical benefits of soylent. That being said, I'm getting tired of People Chow and looking to try other recipes. I have a full order of most of the PC ingredients…

Sorry, this recipe has been made public temporarily and I forgot to make it private again. The ingridients' amounts have been tailored to my personal nutritional profile and some of the ingridients (like sunflower oil) ended up not being used at all.…

simple question?:how to order joylent.....I would like to try,read a lot about it but can't find how to order. Menno

Denk het wel. Gebruik meestal om 2 maaltijden te vervangen. Meestal ontbijt en lunch. Heb ook gemerkt dat je het niet in de blender moet gooien en dan op Turbo. Dan wordt het poeder. De smaak is dan weg maar ook de structuur. Smaakt gewoon dan nergens…

Thanks, Ari. As the article says, the groups ate "about" the same number of calories... but the low-carb group ate about 100 calories per day less than the low-fat group. REMEMBER, in this study, they were not asked to count calories or to limit how…

Yeah agreed, any protein you use with Masa needs to be complete or part of a mix that is complete. Since posting this I have ultimately gone with a three way split between Whey, Casein, and Soy. I had kept my distance from Soy just because there was…

I ordered three weeks worth from Canada and still haven't received an email since April 16th. Some kind of semi-regular order status page or something would be helpful. Also, with Backerkit now aggressively redirecting people to the info@ email address…

Yeah, canola has a worse omega ratio, but a better (neutral) flavor profile. Avistew - some people claim there a major difference in flavor profile if they allow the mix to thicken up before adding the oil. Have you tried that? Basically, mix the powder…

Wielkie dzięki, nie spodziewałem się tak szybkiego odzewu! Jak tylko przyjdą mi składniki rzucam jedzenie : ) Przy okazji pytanie - jeśli odchudzasz się na tej mieszance z powodzeniem - przyjmujesz poza nią jakieś inne posiłki?? W opisie masz "przebieg"…

Still at it? Inquiring minds want to know.

Right, soy isolate is different. Also, whey isolate is made very differently from whey concentrate. Whey concentrate is the subject of the papers above noting furosine content, so we've been talking more about whey isolate and how it's made (liquid whey…

Manganese: far, far too much manganese. Sustained, very high manganese causes brain damage....

Are you using Jerky because it's shelf-stable and cheap? I ask because I'm thinking maybe you should try something higher-end. If you want to add fat and protein, and Jerky is cheap, eating it is guiltless. You might try going to a high-end grocer,…

Round stickers on the caps would probably be easier and cheaper in the long run. You can use colors to distinguish varieties. With printer-compatible stickers, you could step it up a notch and use colors to distinguish the varieties and also print the…

What's the GNC Mega Men taste like? I've been contemplating switching to that and getting rid of some of the singular vitamins if it'll improve the taste of the overall drink. It would cut on shipping costs from PureBulk as well. Cheers

The issue I saw with the Opti-Men multivitamin was that it went over on a couple of the vitamins. I have a recipe created to show the difference between the two. Is it horribly bad? Not necessarily, but I didn't want to take that risk as this was to replace…

Nothing wrong with pill form, although from what I found most pills only contained 99mg of either, which would required a lot to bring it to the recommended dose of potassium and magnesium. It sucks having to order from the states, I know, but purebulk…

Hi John, Sorry it's taken so long to get back to you, I had a hectic summer and only just recently got back into checking the site out for topic replies, etc. I actually took the summer off from Soylent as I was being fed by the army (yoohoo!), but…

I have accidentally done that. Though without blind tests, it would be difficult to properly rule out psychosomatic results. I tend to measure success based on whether cravings persist. The oil experiment is the exception today, but even when not about.…

Hello I just recently began taking a new diet consisting of only this recipe. Can I ask why the People Chow uses this corn flour as opposed to just a regular type of flour? Here is my recipe: http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/modifiedpeople-chow-301-3000-calories-weight-gain…

Go to Soylent.me find the size subscription you want. add it. check out and create your account. Be sure to use the same email as your original order and they will see it as a reorder. You should have a fresh supply in about 2 weeks.

Omega 3:6 ratio. I want to get to a 1:1 ratio, but I'm going to need supplements for that as the tasteless oils have too much 6 and the high 3s have too much taste

The subscription process is disappointing so far. Month 1 it took Soylent 10 days from taking my money to shipping. I figured the delay was because it was my first subscription order - they had to sort out that I was indeed a backer who was returning.…

So I tried the recipe 3 times by now, and I will continue to use it. So far the only really noticeable benefit I see is that it leaves me feeling less heavy than a regular meal, but I've been eating pretty healthy before, and I'm still limiting myself…

Tell Me like I'm Five - How do I put in a reorder, my first month is down to 12 packs left? I ordered through the backer kit over a year ago can't figure out/remember how to make a reorder.

Loving it so far, im using the vanilla but the only thing i changed was adding some strawberry jam, not to much but just a bit to improve the taste.

You just inspired me! I have a business trip to DC next week and I was going to go off soylent for a while since breakfasts are free and I might eat with coworkers. But now I'm thinking if all the money I can save even if I just replace a few dinners!…

Welcome to Soylent, sorry it took 4 months. My first advice on the headache would be try DIY, but if a 4 month wait didn't drive you to it or to the dentist then I'm guessing a headache won't either. Most people get over the headache within a week, but…

Can anyone think of a suitable alternative for the Kirkland vitamins that would be available on iHerb? I'm thinking of getting the Psyllium Husk Powder and the Potassium Gluconate from there and wouldn't want to get the vitamins separately from Amazon…

How long has it been since you started? Distension is probably caused by gas build up, are you having daily bowel movements?

I read the FAQ and was directed to [the official Soylent shipping thread on their website](http://discourse.soylent.me/t/official-soylent-shipping-fulfillment-thread/13219). On a post dated June 23, it states that shipping takes about 10-12 weeks. However…

You will certainly lose some weight with this much calorie reduction. This is also the type of work that the body can burn fat for energy so really high protein is not needed. I wouldn't go to low protein (10%) since you are cutting weight, but 20% should…

Hmm, that's a good idea, actually. I should look into that.

That is all I could find as well. I did email the company and they said "We do have a larger 25 kg available for manufacturers. If you are a manufacturer and would like to purchase the product, we do require a copy of the business license" which just…

So far I am very happy with Schmoylent. The first few days I was turned off by the fact that it is very sweet compared to Justin Fuel, but I have gotten used to it. It's not really all that sweet--only when compared to something not at all sweet. I…

Oh sure, just mix it up with some PB2 (available on Amazon and even in many grocery stores). I just use liquid Soylent to hydrate the powdered PB instead of water. It's delicious and very filling. Oh and a little liquid goes quite a long way so if…

The biggest container I've found is only 3 lbs, unfortunately, which you can find here: http://www.nutribiotic.com/organic-rice-protein-vanilla-3lb.html

Hi @ana and @JulioMiles - question about subscriptions. Things don't seem to be rolling smoothly from your end. Month 1 took 10 days for the product to ship from when payment was taken. I expected the delay was you figuring out I was a returning backer.…

I agree that your body can produce it, but I'd feel more comfortable having food that contains an expected amount of it.

So I got everything in last Friday, but opted to wait until Monday of this week to sample the product. I had weekend plans and if the gas of death was going to hit, I'd rather not have it happen then. I've been using it for 2 meals a day, with solid food…

I guess I need to elaborate on my activity level. I work in a warehouse with a very strict "rate" which requires us to move boxes which weigh between 25-125lbs, at between 2-4 tons/hr. I do this 10 hours a day 4-5 days a week, and on my days off I enjoy…

Maybe you can provide a link to the details that you've cited. I'm looking at the abstract in the Annals of Internal Medicine, which was cited in the NPR article. I don't see anything there about the low-carb group eating 132 fewer calories per day.

Mam pytanie - Twoja wersja jest obliczona na ~1600 kcal. Czy nie czujesz, że to za mało? Ja mam bazowy metabolizm w granicach ~2000 kcal i mam, może taką trochę egoistyczną, prośbę o przygotowanie "edycji 2000 kcal" : )

You might try adding 1/4 teaspoon of non-iodized salt per bag of official Soylent. If you look at the amount of sodium shown on the bag, you'll see it's pretty low.

Magic marker can make a different colour lids...While the nutrition facts can be enclosed with instruction. What a nice idea! Thanks @thomaslbaker!
